ABOUT KIDS

The Kids from Wisconsin is part of an entertainment tradition that goes back nearly 50 years to its beginnings as a musical production created for Wisconsin’s talented youth back in 1969 to be show cased at the Wisconsin State Fair.  Some call them the “original GLEE”.

Performing live across Wisconsin and the Midwest, the Kids from Wisconsin present top of the line entertainment with some of Wisconsin’s most talented young performers. The show is produced in collaboration with some of the country’s best writers, arrangers, and choreographers. Costumes are designed and created in Broadway style, adding to the already exciting performance.

A broad repertoire of music includes the American classics, big band, 50’s thru the 80’s, country, Broadway and current top hits, filling a two hour, fully staged performance.

The Kids from Wisconsin, to this day, maintain a large presence at the Wisconsin State Fair with performances twice daily on a main stage.
Today, the pride and passion that fueled that early music lives on through a Kids from Wisconsin performance.

KIDS EXPERIENCE: The KIDS chosen for the troupe will have an intense 17 day training camp starting on June 7th, 2015. The chosen 33, learn the two hour Broadway style production.

From then on, through August 23rd, they are on tour performing across the state in more than 30 different communities and at the Wisconsin State Fair twice daily.
BOOKINGS: All requests for appearances are carefully screened. The Kids From Wisconsin are engaged each year by groups for fund raising events, performing arts series and at concert series that feature high profile groups and Wisconsin’s own.
